Retreads #14

It wasn’t until after I finished this that I realized that this wasn’t a one time collection of various sketches and stories, but instead part of a long series of such books. Assuming that the other ones are all like this one, that is, which I suppose isn’t the safest of assumptions. Why not save everybody up for a “proper” comic and then but out a few sketchbooks?? Who knows, personal preference is what it is. There’s a surprising amount of “meat” here for a sketchbook type thingie though, so nobody is going to go away feeling cheated. It starts with a few playing card-like descriptions of various characters and events through history including Harry Truman (not that one), Jacko the Sasquatch, and some flying disks in the sky. After that it’s mostly a series of random sketches, promotional posters for various art shows and local events, and the one two page strip that I sampled below, with a bit of an obvious punchline but, as they say, it’s funny because it’s true. Still worth it for the $2 price tag in my book, unless you’re absolutely against any kind of sketchbook chicanery. $2
